CIFAR10 small images classification dataset

[source]

load_data function

tf_keras.datasets.cifar10.load_data()

Loads the CIFAR10 dataset.

This is a dataset of 50,000 32x32 color training images and 10,000 test images, labeled over 10 categories. See more info at the CIFAR homepage.

The classes are:

Label Description
0 airplane
1 automobile
2 bird
3 cat
4 deer
5 dog
6 frog
7 horse
8 ship
9 truck

Returns

  • Tuple of NumPy arrays: (x_train, y_train), (x_test, y_test).

x_train: uint8 NumPy array of image data with shapes (50000, 32, 32, 3), containing the training data. Pixel values range from 0 to 255.

y_train: uint8 NumPy array of labels (integers in range 0-9) with shape (50000, 1) for the training data.

x_test: uint8 NumPy array of image data with shapes (10000, 32, 32, 3), containing the test data. Pixel values range from 0 to 255.

y_test: uint8 NumPy array of labels (integers in range 0-9) with shape (10000, 1) for the test data.

Example

(x_train, y_train), (x_test, y_test) = keras.datasets.cifar10.load_data()
assert x_train.shape == (50000, 32, 32, 3)
assert x_test.shape == (10000, 32, 32, 3)
assert y_train.shape == (50000, 1)
assert y_test.shape == (10000, 1)
